One Of the greatest 81 the treas
ures Of which the State st Nississ-
ippi was possessed was Us tinher
lands. Probably no State 10 the
Union has a larger extent Of pine
timber lands. "a say nothing of the
immense tracts covered bv that
most valuable Of an the woods. the
cypress. But already tie greater
portion Of this valuable lend has
been gobbied PIP BY persons from
other localities who more clearly
appreciate The future value Of tim-
Der lands.
The State Of Maine IN the lofg
ago largely owed its increase Of
population to lis wealth Of timber,
and since the timber has been util.
ICED the increase Of population has
not only not increased, but has pos
lively decreased. and Maine is not
is populous to-day as 1t was ten
years ago.
Maine had this advantage over
Mississippi, that its lands were
taken by men who themselves cut
the timber and the lands were con-
sequentIy far more equally divided.
The reverse is the case in our own
State. Our lands neglected by the
people Of the State have been in
large measure purchased in large
tracts by capitalists who will hold
.hem only for the value Of the lum-
her to be taken from them in the
future. They will not be offered
but at greatly increased prices TO
actual settlers who would while
taking off the timber at least add
10 the population.
Under the circumstances under
which these lands were acquired
they are liable TO remain as unset
tied as they are to-day, to await
the slow process of the establish
ment Of large mills by the capital
lsts by whom they are owned, and
when the timber is exhausted these
lands which ought to become farms
are left only for grazing ground. I
fit is not already too late the
State by proper legislation should
endeavor to secure al that is left
TO be utilized BY actual settlers. It
should at once make provision for
giving to actual settlers their home
stead right TO small tracts. and so
graduate the prices Of large tracts
as TO realize the largest amount TO
the State and to check the absorp-
ton Of vast fields Of timber lands
by non-resident capitalists. We

A Good Recommendation.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: The report of
Commissioner Black interested me very much
j consider il the most comprehensive thorough
aud satisfactory digest and report of the pen
sion service ever made by that Department
The suggestions of the Commissioner are all ex-
cellent, but that ia relation 10 payment Of pen
siOns TO improper persons is especially one Of
vital Importance TO many hundred of poor lami-
lies, aud il should be urged upon the coming
Congress TO so amend the law that If from
drunkenness or auy other cause, the pensioner
is not fit person TO receive and disbuTse the
pension, the Commissioner shall have the
power 10 pay 10 the proper guardian, recon-
mended or appointed by the County Commits
siOners, aud under sufficient bond, such PEN
sion, TO be by him paid out for the use of the
pensioner and his family. My attention has
been more particularly directed to this ques-
ton from the fact that the GAR. Post here
Bryant Post, No. Co. Department of Indiana
has been repeatedly called upon, and has as
sisted needy families of pensioned soldiers who,
when payday came, drew their pensions and
squandercd the money at the saloon in riot aud
drunkenness, or paid IL out for liquor bills al
ready contracted, leaving the wife aud chill
dren without sufficient clothing, aud often
without bread. believe that our experience
in this respect is but the experience Of many
Others in this and other Departments. The

ment is turned aside from the helpless depend.
ents and made 10 swell the volume of vice and
crime. The suggestions Of Commissioner
Black, if carried out, would. in a great meas,

most earnestly urge that THE NATIONAL TRIB

Of the Commissioner and bring the matter tC

Crossing Niagara on a Bicycle.

4 Buffalo special says: Alphonso King
Of New York this afternoon successfully
accomplished the feat of crossing the
Niagara torrent below the cataract on o
water bicycle. One trip was made from
the American 10 Canadian shore in four
and half minutes, and, contrary to ex-
pectation, tie rapids did not capsize the
novel craft. The apparatus consisted OF
two long zinc cylinders for buoyancy,
and the propeling power was bicycle
wheel With small paddles attached.
When mounted on the machine the
tubes sark so low in the water that King
appeared to be riding a regular wheel
across the gorge. He wore high hat,
Prince Albert coat and rubber leggings,
the latter being the only protection from
the water. \ boat load of reporters,
rowed by Tom Conroy, the noted guide,
went along to rescue King in case he
capsized. The current carried him
diagonally in the direction of the Whirl-
pool Rapids, but he had sufficient con-
troll Of the bicycle to succeed in the per
formance. Several thousand persons,
including Prince Devanwongse and the
other Siamese visitors, saw the feat and
cleered when it was accomplished. DR..
John \. Lanigen, on behalf of Buffalo
admirers, presented King with costly
gold medal.
